07 Dyna    starter clutch been acting up last few weeks. It Was  nice day to day so went riding  .Well clutch was acting really bad didn't think I was going to get it started one time. so came home and started to do some spring maintenance Changes oils adj. primary chain ( Baker thing, got to remove outer primary) and sense it was hot, do the sea foam de carbon clean out.Well sprayed about half a bottle 50-50 mix  then heavy spray till it choked out . Let is set for half hour or so then tried to start up blow carbon out. Well starter decided this was the time to take a dump no start  just spun. Question will the sea foam hurt anything thing by not being cleaned out the few days I have to weight for the starter parts to get in? Maybe spray some WD40 in?

Seafoam is petroleum based and contains no harmful chemicals, copied from their web page.

I never let it 'choke out' for fear of hydro-locking the cylinder.

Start it like we did the old shovels. Push it down the street.

I've let it chock out before and sit a couple days on issue. But before starting I pulled the plugs and spun the engine over with them out..
That stuff cleans good!
I'm not here cause of a path before me, Im here cause of the burnout left behind
